Set in Scotland in the early 1900's, this very welcome sort-of-sequel to THE HORRIBLE DR. HICHCOCK (1962) concerns the sickly, wheelchair-bound Dr. John Hichcock (Elio Jotta), whose death is hurried along by his beautiful younger wife Margaret (Barbara Steele) and her handsome doctor/lover (Peter Baldwin), in whose care Dr. H had unwisely entrusted. They poison him and then can't seem to find the fortune that should have been stashed in his safe. While they search the grounds, under the watchful eye of the loyal housekeeper (Harriet White Medin), hubby's ghost seemingly returns to settle the score, driving the two of them to paranoia, madness and murder.
The routine storyline is given a boost by solid direction, atmospheric photography and, especially, a good cast. Though the dubbing is a bit sketchy at times, this is a must for Barbara Steele fans. She's impressively evil in her role and gets a lot of screen time. The twist ending is great and is worth waiting for, as well.
Score: 6 out of 10
